Grip the Front Handle with
index finger high on the Front
Handle
operaTion
1.
Insert hysteroscope into patient according to current best practices and visualize target tissue. physiologic distention media such as normal
saline is recommended for uterine distention.
2.
Insert the Resectr™ tip into the working channel of the hysteroscope until visible on the monitor.
3.
ConfirM seTUp: for hysteroscopic systems with integrated outflow ports (most), the hysteroscope outflow port should be gravity driven, and
tubing should be connected to a gravity canister or table drape. For hysteroscopes with a removable outflow channel the outflow channel
should be removed during operative use.
resectr outflow – vacuum
• To tissue collection filter, in vacuum canister
• Active suction source
4.
Under direct visualization, position the Resecting Window adjacent to the target tissue by rotating the Cannula Collar with thumb and index
finger and/or rotating the entire Resectr device.
5.
iMporTanT: Aspiration may be used to pull tissue into the Resecting Window. Aspiration increases when the Oscillating Blade is in the open
position inside the Resecting Window and aspiration decreases when the Blade is positioned to close the Resecting Window. Do not force, or
push, the Resecting Window into tissue.
6.
Squeeze Front Handle with index finger high on the Front Handle to rotate the Resectr Oscillating Blade 3X clockwise and controllably release
the Front Handle to rotate the Oscillating Blade 3X counterclockwise. Squeeze as needed to remove target tissue.
7.
Slowly squeeze the Front Handle and/or rotate the Cannula Collar to position the Oscillating Blade into the open position in the Resecting
Window to aspirate fluids and tissue as needed.
8.
Squeezing the Front Handle several times while positioned away from
tissue can assist tissue transport through the cannula with the negative
pressure of suction.
Disposal
1.
Remove Resectr with the hysteroscope from the patient or from the
working channel of the hysteroscope.
2.
Remove vacuum tubing from the Resectr and dispose of the entire device
according to facility policies and procedures regarding biohazardous
materials and sharps waste.
